Carefully lift the bath into position so the posts on the bath frame ﬁt into the four foot clips, and the

drain tailpiece ﬁts into the drain pipe.

Check for solid ﬁt (no rocking) and a 24-1/8″ (613 mm) rim corner height to the ﬁnished ﬂoor.

Lift and move the bath if needed, and adjust the four posts as needed to ensure a distance of

24-1/8″ (613 mm) from the ﬁnished ﬂoor to the top of each bath rim corner. Adjust the bath levelers
